Formula One descended on Brazil last night for an epic finale to the World
Championship, but with teams and drivers bracing themselves for the twin
threats of a battering from the weather and soaring crime around the
Interlagos circuit.

A huge police presence is expected for the Brazilian Grand Prix this weekend,
with drivers being taken to the track in armoured cars flanked by motorcycle
outriders. Team members have been ordered not to wear their uniforms outside
the circuit and warned to stay in large groups to avoid the threat of armed
robberies and even carjackings.
